Section 3. Component Description

3-5

After the convect fan mounting plate is
removed, motor connectors, motor, motor
mount and insulation is accessible. Motor
connectors are also exposed by removing
the back panel (see range back removal).

The convect fan blade is attached to the
motor’s “D” shaft using a hex set screw.
The fan blade must be loosened and taken off
the motor shaft before the motor can be
removed. The motor mounting screws are
found on the front side of the convect fan
assembly. When reassembling, be sure to
reinstall the small piece of insulation under the
motor mount. The insulation provides sound
dampening and prevents heat loss. When
reinstalling the convect fan blade, be sure that
the blade has adequate clearance at all points
around the mounting plate. The blade should
“stand off” approximately 1/8” with very little
apparent warping.

Note: When reinstalling the convect assembly, be sure to
check that no loose insulation is visible in the fan area
or anywhere in the oven cavity.
